Beast Taming Concubine: Miss Waste Chai

Chapter 68 Do you look familiar?

When Hu Xue came to the main courtyard, she happened to see Sheng Changlin and the housekeeper standing in the courtyard. The two seemed to be talking, and Sheng Changlin was still holding something in his hand.

The butler saw her first, took two steps back, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Master, madam is here."

Only then did Sheng Changlin turn around and look at Hu Xueying. With just this one glance, Hu Xueying secretly became vigilant.

She is too familiar with Sheng Changlin, with just one look, she knows that something must have happened.

Hu Xueying clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and then slowly loosened them.

What is she afraid of?

Although she did intend to attack Sheng Yege's siblings at King Anding's small banquet today, something happened to Sheng Zichen before the plan was implemented.

The matter of Sheng Zichen has nothing to do with her.

What is she afraid of?
Thinking this way, Hu Xueying stepped in and walked in with anxious eyes: "Master, I heard something happened to Zichen, but have you found out who did it?"

"It's been found out." Sheng Changlin turned to face Hu Xueying: "The servants who kept the ice cellar put the poison in the water, and then it was frozen together with the water into ice cubes, and sent to Zichen and Yege's carriage."

"Ah..." Hu Xueying was surprised: "The person who keeps the ice cellar? Why would he do this?"

Sheng Changlin looked down at the things in his hand: "Why? Naturally, it was because someone ordered it. It's just that his mouth was too strict, and the torture interrogation didn't ask anything, but found some interesting things in the room where he lived .”

"Huh?" Hu Xueying was puzzled: "What?"

Sheng Changlin stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of her. There were a few things in his palm, a bank note, an ingot of gold, and two ingots of silver.

"Although the government does not treat servants harshly, the servants' allowances are limited after all. It may not be easy for ordinary servants to save so much gold and silver. Where these things come from needs to be investigated carefully."

After carefully investigating the four characters, Sheng Changlin emphasized his tone, and what he said was meaningful.

Hu Xueying's heart tightened. After she became the wife of the Sheng Mansion, she bought almost all the servants in the mansion, and the steward of the ice cellar was naturally among them.

And before that, she also used gold and silver to drive that person to do things for her.

But that was already a few years ago. She first tried to get someone to trick Sheng Yege's little hoof into the ice cellar, and then let the ice cellar steward pretend not to know, closed the ice cellar door, and put Sheng Yege in the ice cellar. Yege was locked inside for nearly an hour.

It's just that at that time, Sheng Yege was young and weak-tempered, that was the case. After she was released, she didn't dare to say anything at all. I remember that time, after Sheng Yege went back, she was sick for half a month.

However, that was already several years ago...

Hu Xue kept her expression on the face, and just nodded: "The master is right, you should really check it out."

Sheng Changlin picked up one of the bank notes and an ingot of gold: "This bank note is from Changshun Bank. I remember, you like to deposit your private property in Changshun Bank, right?"

Hu Xueying raised her head in disbelief, Sheng Changlin was... suspicious of her?
Hu Xueying's throat choked, and she just gritted her teeth: "Yes, I have deposited some private property in Changshun Bank, but Changshun Bank is one of the three major banks in our Wangjing City, and the ones in Changshun Yinzhuang are depositing money. , it's not just me..."

"That's right." Sheng Changlin nodded, as if he had listened to her words, but he handed the ingot of gold to her again: "Look, does this gold look familiar to you?"

Hu Xueying's heart trembled again, what did he mean by this?
Hu Xueying was about to vomit blood, but she also took the gold, and only looked at it over and over again: "Aren't all gold the same? Could it be that someone's name is engraved on this ingot?"

"En." Sheng Changlin glanced at Hu Xueying: "There is no name engraved on it, and it does look the same as other gold, but this gold has a smell."

"Smell?" Hu Xueying put the gold on the tip of his nose suspiciously, and sniffed it lightly, but his whole body froze. This smell...

She is very familiar with this smell, it is the Yuelin incense she used to use on weekdays.

With that bank note, she can even say that there are countless people in the whole Wangjing city depositing silver in that bank, and there are quite a few in the mansion.But this Yuelin incense is different, she asked the perfumer in the mansion to concoct this Yuelin incense, not to mention the whole Sheng mansion, even the whole Wangjing city, I am afraid that she is the only one who is using it.

"Did you smell it?" Sheng Changlin asked.

Hu Xueying gritted her teeth: "I can smell it, it's the smell of Yuelinxiang. But master, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't know why this gold is stained with Yuelinxiang. But the government knows that I like to use Yuelinxiang There are many people in Linxiang, this is someone who deliberately framed this concubine."

When Sheng Changlin heard the words, he just lowered his eyes and played with the gold and silver in his hands, without saying a word.

Hu Xueying staggered back two steps: "Is the master suspicious of me? Zichen grew up beside me, why should I harm him?"

Seeing that Sheng Changlin still didn't speak, Hu Xueying became more and more chilling: "Master should know about this concubine. I have been doing chores in the house for the past few years. Although I don't make things difficult for others on weekdays, but if I am a concubine, I really have to use my heart to calculate it." , will definitely be able to do so without leaving any traces."

"I intentionally left Yue Linxiang on the briber's gold, am I crazy?"

Sheng Changlin was still indifferent: "I only talk about evidence in my actions, but all the evidence I have found so far is pointing at you. Just one sentence, I know you, can't convince the public. If you say that you are wronged, say You didn't bribe the ice cellar steward, you didn't instruct him to poison Zichen and Yege, you have to ask for evidence."

Hu Xueying's heart became more and more cold, and she couldn't convince everyone with a single sentence.

Hu Xueying gritted her teeth, and a stern look flashed in her eyes: "Master, where do you ask the concubine to get the evidence? There is no reason to blame me! Since the master has already determined in my heart that I did this, why bother to ask again. "

"Master said directly, how to deal with me, just to get justice for Sheng Zichen and Sheng Yege."

Sheng Changlin's eyes fell on Hu Xueying's face, he clenched the ingot of gold and silver in his hands, after all, he still thought that she had been serving him by his side for so many years, so he only pursed his lips and said, "This matter is related to Prince Anding. , I will only push the steward of the ice cellar to take the blame. But in the future, you should stay in your own yard and reflect, the general affairs of the mansion, for the time being..."

Sheng Changlin paused for a moment: "Aunt Liu will take care of it for the time being, and you can send someone to deliver the keys to the warehouse to her later."

Hu Xue clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves: "Yes, I know."
